Quality

Buy some good-quality, heavy curtains that won’t look cheap in your room and be very useful at insulation.

Length

Excluding blinds, make sure your curtains are long and deluxe, instead of short and truncated, so it gives the room a cosy, homely feel.

Curtain Rods

Curtain rods, specifically traverse rods, are used to open your drapes with a twist or a pull of the rod or cord, connected to a pulley which slides the drapes along a rack. You can also decide to have two rods in equal length for a long window if you prefer.

Net Curtains

If you want your windows to appear modern, avoid hanging up net curtains, since they look out-dated and cheap. Accustom yourself with the single large pair of curtains you’ll only ever need to cover your windows.

Shutters

Get a unique attractive feel by using bamboo shutters under your curtains, especially if you want to hide an ugly view, whilst still filtering in light. They come in a range of colours as well so it can suit the colour of your room, and also fit onto any size of window.

Blinds

Blinds can be a nice addition to windows, but if you have, say, plain white blinds, this might give the room a little blandness. Therefore, to give it character, opt instead for blinds with vibrant patterns or colours.

Valances And Scarves

To allow more light into the room without using full curtains, opt instead for a window valance, which will also cover blinds or shades underneath. Window scarves let more light in than valances and are more luxurious and less heavy.

Roman Shades

These are a type of window covering, but which are different to normal window shades since they are smoother and even when opened. Placed at the top of the windows, especially if the windows are low, Roman shades give your room a comfortable and modern look. Classic and Looped Roman shades are two types available.
